Mediation is over and you want to remember what happened.
Last reviewed May 07, 2026
Short answer
Save your notes, any draft agreement, open questions, next steps, and deadlines. Keep the final version separate from working notes.
Save what was discussed
Write the main topics while they are fresh.
Use simple labels like schedule, money, property, holidays, or communication.
Separate draft from final
If there is a draft agreement, label it clearly as a draft.
Do not mix draft notes with final signed papers.
Track open questions
Write what still needs review or explanation.
If you have legal help, save questions for that person.
List next steps
Write any next meeting, deadline, document task, or follow-up message.
Put dates in one list.
What to do first
Make a same-day note with topics discussed, next steps, dates, and open questions.
